We had a chat with Samantha and she told us all about her business, favourite social media and where she finds inspiration…
“I started my business because…”

...I was made redundant after going back to work from maternity leave in 2008. The height of recession! I didn’t think a part time job was possible because of the job market.I’d always wanted to do something for myself and after I saw a shop for rent near my house, I had a light bulb moment & Tea Party was born!

…My favourite social media is…

…Instagram as it shows exactly what we do! Our gorgeous tea parties in vivid colour!! And you can see lots in one go!!

A great tip for women would be…

…you will manage somehow! We are brilliant at multi-tasking and like me, if you have children, you can find a way. Learn to delegate and not feel guilty if you can’t do everything at home. Take a deep breath and go for it!

I find my daily dose of inspiration in…

…the search page of Instagram!! I love all those photos..’based on people you follow’. It could be anything, a lottery of photos! I love if any inspirational messages pop up, make up tutorials, friends of friends, interiors, food, glamorous people..you name it, I love it!
